Tho Newberry Observer *ays : Editor Murray appear? -.lightly offend ?ed at our congratulations, lie overlook ed the Tact that the congratulations were extended to hiB paper and not to bim. He should feel flattered. If our contemporary had published our remarks from which it deduces ita conclusions, its readers would have seen that the Editor of the INTELLIGENCES said nothing to Indicate being offended with tho Observer. On the coutrary, we .expressed ourselves as satisfied with things as they exist, and asked that con cord and harmouy might reign. The Observer bas not been marked, for some time paBt, by any very pleasant manner in discussing public questions with the INTELLIGENCER, and we will admit frankly that wo were not looking for any -compliment, even by indirection, From it. Still, as the Observer seems willing to get on better terms, we are moro than willing to do so. We dislike personalities in journalism, and never indulge in them unless forced to do so. We harbor no malice towards tho Observer, and Bhall bo delighted to havo our relations in future moro courteous and moro friendly. COUNTY COM1UIS3IONEKB. Of all the officers to bo elected by the people of any County, there ia none equal to that of County Commissioner in importance for the welfare of the County. They bare auch Inrge discretionary pow ers that the people havo practically no protection, except the character and qualification of the men elected. They have entire control of the County finan ces; spend the County money at the places and for the purposes they aee fit; havo the supervision of public bridges and buildings, and the supervision of the public road? of tbo County. County Commissioners, therefore, ought to be men of unquestioned character and sin cerity; they should be men of experi ence and aound judgment ; they should be intelligent and thoroughly indepen dent I?? ?be discharge of their duties. In making up our tickets, therefore, for next Friday we ought to select for An derson County the three beat mon out of the six candidates. We are satisfied that Anderson County will have a good Board of Commissioners next time, for any three men who can be elected now will be safe men for ua to entrust the charge of our County affaira into (heir keeping. Ik. alway a among a giv ea number of men some are better qualified than others, and it ia important that we have the very best men poeaible. Hence we hope every voter will cast his ballot for tho three men whom bt? thinks will upend the County money moat judiciously, and who will have our public roads worked best. It ia a matter which concerna every voter in the County, and we trust that all of them will forego any personal choice to vote for the men they candidly believe will make tho beat Com missioners. It ia the moat important election that our people havo before them. Murderer and Suicide. Special Dispatch to the News and Courier. COLUMBIA, August 26.-The Colum bia correspondent of the News and Cou rier received td-nlaht a telegram from Clinton. Laurens County, to the effect that John P. Sloan, who murdered bis wife In Newberry on the 19th of thia month, spent last night at the house of J. T. Bell, in Newberry County, where he had given an assumed name. After "ho had left there this morning certain parties suspected him of being the wife murderer, nnd starting in pursuit over took and enrrouuded him ia a negro cabin . on Carlington & Young's plantation, whick ls In Laurena County, fourteen milea from Clinton, and near the New berry line. He resisted arrest, and, de termined to avoid being captured, shot himself in the loft breast, causing instant death. The only person in the house at the time of tho ahoot?og waa aa old negro woman. The party only heard the re port of tho pistol, if ono of .them witness ing the ehootlog. The coroner's inquest will not bo held until a late hoar to-night. .

Mw?, EUI-AULA, ALA., August 28.-Great excitement prevails in Ibis section over thirty-two cases, more or lesa, of Violent ly developed, hydrophobia on the 'plauta lion of Mr. Punch Doughtle, five cr lix miles from this city. Dr. K. B.Johnston, who was called to attend the sufferers, returned this afternoon aud reports three cases desperate, oue in delirium and one so low that death is expected at any time. Tho history of the coses is that a dog on Doughtie's place went mad on July 25, and bit a mule and several bttg?. The first hog died on August lt fthd was' given to the negroes on tho place to make soap grease. Instead of doing so they ate it. On August 18 two bogs died, one on the 22d and one on the 27th. Of these hogs thirty two people atc. Klcveu days after eating of the first hog ten per sons were taken violently s*c*: with symptoms of poison, sod tho others were seized in rotntic n i uni according to the time at which the subsequent hogs were eaten, until the entire thirty two people were attacked. Tho mule firat bitten made a ferocious attack on Mr. Doughtieon Saturday last. After biting tho aoimal he was riding, and Uoughtie dismounting, be had a race for lifo with the mad beast and only es caped by thc narrowest chance, thc mule running against a fence ?mst in his wild charge and being knocked senseless, just as Mr. Iioughtie Was scaling the fence. Tho mulo was shot and killed by Mr. DdUghtie afterward*. The mule bitten by this animal has shown PC sign of hy drophobia yet, hut presents every indi cation of poi'sri,), and the Doctor says that trV: anima! cannot live. Two days s{?o another dog was attacked with.rabies and killed, but not before biting a small dog on tho lot, v. Inch is now boused and will be treated experimentally for neuro. The greatest terror exists throughout the enliro beat on nccou'.it of tho fact that the first dog I? still at largo among the cattle and hogs. Dr. Johnston. who is an able physician, says that be would not bo surprised if the majority of the thirty people attacked should succumb to tho disease, as the premouitory symptoms aro of tho most dangerous diameter. Thc medical fra ternity are greatly interested over the development of the esses. Tho people generally are excited and the victims and their families are terror-Btnoken. A comtnunity hunt has been proposed for the pursuit and capture of the niHd dog now at large.- Dispatch to the News ""<i Courier. A ltnllrond Quandary. COLUMBIA, August 31.-Yesterday morning Mr. George lt. Talcott, tho su perintendent of the Columbia and Green ville and Charlotte, Columbia and Au gusta Railroads, received a telegram from Col. A. C. Haskell, tho president of the roads, directing him to proceed to Spart anburg and turu over tho Spnrtanburg, Union and Columbia Railroad to its owners. Sincr. the receipt of these in structions, however, Superintendent Tal cott bas received another telegram from President Haskell directing him to post pone tho surrender of tho road for tho present. Col. Haskell is in New York and is probably considering some settle ment of tho matter. The surrender of tho road would creato Homo curious re sults. The shops of the line have since tbe lease, been moved to Columbia and consolidated with those here. Tue ma chinery is scattered about, the carn and locomotives have similarly lost their identity, and the bare track is about all that can bo well given up. Jual now, then, the uncertainty of the ow ne ni consenting to receive the lino makes the situation more interesting. Thu tempo rary abandonment of the road might be tho result. The reason for Col. Haskell's last instructions is not known here, I believe. STA UTAN num., August 31.-Major Anderson, superintendent of the Ashe ville and Spartnnburg li md, bas been Invited to meet Messrs. Inman and Mc Aden, tho two principal stockholders of the Spartanburg and Union Road, here to-morrow. No information has been received as to the probable action of the Clyde syndicate, but it seems as if they would surrender their leane. The hands have been furnibbed rations to last until to day. If they give the road up it will probably be run Tn connection with tho Asheville and Bpartanburg Road, Major Anderson being supei intendent of both. It has been rumored that the Atlantic Coast Line would get possession of the road. Spartanburg would be pleased if the South Carolina Road should get con trol of it. Tho Campaign in the Stnte. The State Democratic Execulivo Com mittee met in Columbia on last Monday night with a full attendance. The Committee have prepared a stir ring address to the people of tho State. Reports received from all ibo Counties indicate thorough organization and the determination to achieve an overwhelm ing victory in November next. The first gun of the campaign will be fired on the 23d of this month, and the echo will be heard on the seacoast. Speakers will move through tho State in columns. The same speakers Will not deliver addresses in all the Counties, but will divide into squads and thereby make a thorough canvass of the entire State. The appointments will be published in full. Captain F. W. Dawson, who is a mem ber of the National Democratic Execu tive Committee, and bas recently return ed from headquarters in New York, brings glowing accounts of the prospecta of a Democratic victory in the national con test. Where the Republicans have hitherto carried States without an effort they are now fighting with a desperation born of apprehension of defeat, and they are lacking in the means for carrying on a vigorous campaign. The Democrats of th* North and West are jubilant over the prospects, and when tho Tammany endorsement of Cleveland and Hendricks is made on Friday next, an aggressive campaign will be opened by the Demo crats, which will know no abatement until victory is proclaimed. Lnla Horst Defies the World. CHATTANOOGA, August 26.-- Lulu Hurst, the Georgia wonder, was inter viewed to day as she passed through the city en route home. She denied being married te her manager, T. M. Atkinson, and says there is no ground for the report ; that she doea not even love bim nod never expects to.

A Kinging Hiicccli bjr Oorerwo- *?e*drlcka. *~r_ - INDIA NAWV.;,, August 30.-Tbecatn pig?i in this State *as formally opened by botb pertics to day, and a bund red speeches were delivered io the cities and towns in various parts of Indiaur.. Tn this city the Republicans dM not bold a meeting. The Dem?crata had a large street d?monstration, many unilornied club* carrying torches and transparen cies, participating. The speeches took place from the stand in a circle, where ex-Governor Hendricks addressed the audience, numbering several thouiaud: persons. Fellow'C'itifeos ! t "f.ppreciate the privilege nod honor of addressing you, and ! recognize the duty of speaking frankly and without concealment or exaggeration of any material fact or opinion. May I first ask your attention lo the necessity and importance of reve nue reform. Thc power to levy and collect taxes is among the highest and most responsible of thc p.irlbutes of the Government. It rank*? with the right and faculty of taking privato property for public use and with the right and power of transferring citizens from tho Iiursuis of private life to the dr.cies And lazards of war. It tain s fro**! man that which is his and ajwro^rlutcf it to thc public use. !t seizes upoo the earnings of Iftbof as well as upon the nccumula tions of capital. To every .nan tho inquiry is of a personal concern, and the answer is of public consequence. How far may tho Government go in tho exer cise of the pow ;r to tax th'; people ? Freely ami cheerfully We all answer that there shall fr? un limitation or restraint upon the absolute and entire maintenance of public authority with nil of ils facul ties and functions unimpaired. Whatever the Government cun lawfully do and of right should do the taxpayers will fur nish it the means to accomplish, Beyond this is the providence of private right, to invade which is usurpation. Tho Government economically administered BIIHII bc supported. Are your men fron? the farms, shops and stores willing that any other rule should be adopted ? May they take your money for uses not au thorized by the Constitution or not for the public welfare? or that it may bo piled up in the vaults to tempt the greed of the unscrupulous. When the war came taxation was necessarily and right fully locrcaaed. Largo revenues were needed to supply and maintain great armies, bul with the war and the expen ditures consequent upon it then passed away the necessity for a war standard nf taxation. Why, then, was Hiich a stand ard cont inned ? Tho par:y that has held almost utibroken power for nineteen yeurs in peace must answer that question. In bis message of December 4, 1882, President Arthur admonished Congress that at the prior session he hud urged upon its attention "thc importance of relieving industries and enterprise of unnecessary taxation." In tho same message he said thc people have been in substantial accord on the doctrine ' that only such taxcB should be levied ns are necessary for a wiso and economical administration of the Government." Tho President continued : "Of late the public revenues have far exceeded that limit, and unless checked hv appropriate legislation such excesa will continue to increaso from year to year." For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1881. tho sur plus revenue amounted to $100,000,000. For tho fiscal year ended on Juno 30 of Inst year the surplus was more than Sl45.000.000. What sny you, my coun trymen? Did that showing not call for revenue reform ? During that Congress the House was made up positively of Republicans, largely by partisan action. Not much heed was given by it to the startling statement made by the President of tho enormous excess in the revenue. The modification of the internal syHtern and of the tariff made on March follow ing left an excess of $85,000,000 of reve nue. In hiB last annual report on De cember 3 last tho secretary of the treasu ry o-limatrs the surplus of the current year at $85.000,000, and add? : ' So the question still presses, what legislation ia necessary to relieve the people of unnec essary taxes ?" Yes, it is a question of 185,090,000 unnecessary taxe? in ons year ; the accumulation is constant, ?u a speech recently made at Richmond Mr. Catkins, the candidate for Governor, boasting of the achievements of his par ty, made a statement which I adopt without examination, "that the Repub lican party found an empty treasury. Now it has a Burplua of $400,000,000." That ia an enormous sum of money ; nore, I believe, than half the paper jurrency of the country. Estimating Mir population at 50,000,000 it is eijrht ?tallara for each man, woman and child. That great sum of money lies idle in the treasury. If it had been left with the people it would become the willing and icttve servant of labor. It would stimu late and strengthen old and develop new enterprises. It would restore to tho neichant bia market and give the farmer good prices again. In the language of ;bo secretary of the treaaury, "the ques ;ioa sltll presses, 'what legislation is lecessary to relieve the people of un lecessary taxes?'" It ?Ba question, of ?evenue reform. Solve thia question, my ?ountrymen, by reducing tho taxes, and bus leaving the money not needed by he Government in the pods ts of the >eople and obsnnels of trade and com - nerce. The partyin power will not give is thia reform. Aa the yeara bavo rolled >y with them in power the machinery of ho law, inexorable in ita action, baa gone >n collecting'from the taxpayers in ex x-33, hoarding and accumulating. The ?undulate for Governor boasts of the iccumulations. In contrast with low axea and short revenue and the empty reaaary of former daya, the high rates md overflowing treaaury of thea? times >ecame, in the appreciation of himself ind his political associates, achievements if exalted stateamanahip. Learning ind argument aro exhausted in the po ttiest papers of these timea in support if high taxation, to the end and for the lurpose of relieving favored classes from om petition. Of course revenue reform auat come from other quarters. It can* tot come from the representatives of the avored classes who ask inequality in egielatlon that there may be unjust nequality io the profits of the varied m-nui to of the people. May I aak your attention to the plan nd principles of Revenue reform, to rb<eh the Dem?crata are pledged by the 'bicago platformT Federal taxation shall not exceed the needa of the Gov rnmont, economically administered." )o you approve that? If not, would ou have the Government wastefully and orruptly administered to make room nd pretext for higher Federal taxes? Federal taxation aball be exclusively >r publie purposes." Would you have i otherwise T If taxation can have for s object other than publio purposes, tay that object and purpose be individual ed pri vate gain ? I do not question that ? may be and often ls an incident that oe man receives a greater bon cfit, or irriee a greater burthen than another, tcauso of a prescribed tax. If I buy n imported article with a duty on it I ear the burthen of duty. If you m an ise tu re a like article and sell it at an 3 vnnco of price equal *.o tho duty, then > that extent you are benefited, out the idlvidual benefit or burthen is not the bject or purpose of the law?. Ii ts bat necessary Incident; ?or do I question tat In the adjustment of the details of ie tarin* law, legislativo mind and judg* tent may and will be influenced not only y considerations of general policy, bot Iso by the probable effect of the meas te upon the business intercala of the iuntry. It ls In accordance with this snttmcnt that the Democratic party anr?? pledged In its platform "to revise io tariff in a spirit of fairness to all In iroots/'and that "any chang?e of law ?mal be at every Htcp regardful for the abor aod capital employ :&in the indus rien of the country," and that "custom house taxes shall hear heaviest on arti* :les of luxury and lightest on arUnlei **f leceesity," and that yBjecwfiiry reduction u the taxation and must be effected ff?ho?H depiiying American labor of the ibility to compete successfully with foreign labor." These principles of the platform are plainly written it'id easily juderstood. They preseot the conserva* :ive purpose of the Democrats, touching revenue reform. When vxv'eeaed i^ aws their beneficent in^ucrKc will be anie a?tivo sou uuiversal lower tuxes ivil! signify lighter burthens upon the people, money returning to the channels >f trade, enterprise restored and stimula led| renewed demand for thc products of industry, and consequent increased de mand for labor, aud uuiversal prosperity. If thc lour hundred millions now locked up in tho treasury were restored to tho Ebanuels of trade and commerce, who :a?. douht that la' or would Bod employ ment and the manufacturer a murkd for lils fabrics. He referred to the disgraceful condi tion of our ocean commerce, and Haid : Thc obituary of our merchant navy is written in our tarin", and shipping laws, [ts spirit of enterprise and during that ince brought wealth to our shores and pride to our people, und thut furnished jongeuial employment to thousands of jur brave and hardy sons, is buried in ;he treasury vaults under those $400,000,* KW of which Mr. Calkins vailnla." He then spokl of the lamentable con Jitiou of our navy and coast defences, quoted from the speech of .Senator Har rison on the subject, and suid the Demo* eratic party was not responsible for this tniaziug condition of things, and asserted Lhut the Democratic purty looks with thaine und humiliation upon our present miserable navy, and regards with anxiety mr unprotected seaboard. it would liuve war vessels of sullicient strength iud number to withstand any naval pow* ;r on earth, and make the flag respected ta every sea and every port in the world. All ibis, not lor conquest, but for tho preservation of peace on terms consist* put with National hi>:ior. The bill for a imall addition to thc navy, he under "tood, was defeated by Democratic Con gressmen because of want of confidence in the navy department as at present or ganized, ile called attention to the fact that much is said about the probable foreign policy of the Presidential candi dates, and thal it is claimed that Blaine will be more American anddasbiug. Mr. Hendricks said on ibo subject : "His South American interference was neither, ?f course wc know what vote this claim is intended lo reach. I think it will fail. Tho vote is too intelligent." He called attention to tho platform of both parties and said they do not differ materially on the subject. He then con trasted two coses-that of Martin Koszta, under a Democratic administration, und ?.hat of Mcsweeney, under Blaine as secretary of State. He said in the Koszta caso the courage of Capt. Ingra liam of tho navy, who demanded the ro lease of Koszta, and the learning and Ability of Secretary Marcy not only re stored Koszta to his liberty and his rights, but established the same rights in favor yt every emigrant to this country. The :aso gave to our country a great position ind influence nmong tho other nations. In reviewing the Mcsweeney case ho con eluded as follows: Was it not enough that Mr. Blaine was informed that an American citizen was confined in a Brit ish jail, and he had been guilty of no riolalion of law, and that no charge of violation of law had been made against liitn? Could duty be plainer or its neg ect more ilagrunt? Had Marcy been tecrctary of State at the time would McSweeney have languished i ti prison Torten months? would bis wife's letter inve luin unnoticed in thu State d?pan nent? Under Marcy American rights .vero vindicated-under Blaine they were leglectsd. Not long sine? I made the icquaintaoce of Governor Cleveland. I lound him affable and courteous, clear ind distinct in his views and strong and iircct in the expression of his purposes, ble seemed to mo ns free from conceal neut and the arts of a demagogue ns any nan I know. As far as I could judge in i single conversation I thought bim iu a narLcd degree governed in bia official ;ife by his convictions of duty. You do lot expect him to escape criticism upon lis official life. That can hardly be the brtune of any candidate Touching hat I believe his motives have not been mpugned nor his honesty questioned. In respect to his private life we will not tccompany his defamers in their search br a ground of accusation back of the iverwhelming vindication by his neigh lors in three political contests of exlrn irdinary brilliancy aud success. Addressing the people who are now lupporting him from the steps of the Sew York City Hall in 1866, Gen. But er said : "Wby, you poor fools ! I have aced your masters in Baltimore and Sew Orleans. I have hung your broth ?ra, nod if you don't iearu to behave ^ourselves I fear I shall have the chance 0 Borne day do the same to you. Why, [ have seen many more such as you with he Minnie rifle and muskot and the bay* met in their hands, actuated by the arno spirit that actuates you, and I did lot flinch from them. Do you suppose, hen, that I would flinch before you ? 1 man who has smelt gunpowder can elves the equsTof thc negro. No, no; be negro is as immeasurably your supe ?or as heaven is above the hell to which 'ou are going. And now, men of the Tive Points, bullies of the bawdy house, lurglurs of the Tombs. I simply declare s the voice of the nation that you are tot fit for the exercise of the elective ranchise." This was what Butler bought of the communists, nihilists, lynamiters and hoodlums io 1866.
